The Bread, My Sweet (2001)
Very sweet sleeper romantic comedy
I thought this was a very well done, though very low budget, movie. Scott Baio surprised me with his acting talent. He was serious, moody and passionate - about bread. Though I liked the romantic story line of the film I did not think it showed as much passion as it should have. Having said that, the film is still a very good and moving love story. The story lines following the brothers and the elderly ethnic couple were very touching. I would recommend this to any romantic at heart.
The rental box compared it to Moonstruck and Big Fat Greek Wedding. Besides the ethnic aspect I don't think that offers much of a comparison. This film was much deeper and dealt with more serious subjects than those two comedies did.
Very good movie. Check it out and see for yourself.
Savannah Smiles (1982)
This movie will make you joyful
I ran across this at the video store and I hadn't seen it for almost 15 years. It is still just as heartwarming and loveable as it was when I was young. The little girl is so sweet it's hard not to fall in love with her, like the robbers eventually did. I'm going to search to add a copy of this to my library, but until I do, at least I'll know that life is perfect when Savannah smiles.
Exit to Eden (1994)
Funny movie and really sexy
Though based on an Anne Rice erotica novel, the script was a little silly. But it works really well with the comedic flare that Rosie brings to the movie. I happen to think that Paul Mercurio is fabulous (if you haven't seen it, see Strictly Ballroom) though this movie showcases his skin more than his acting talent. One of the things I like best about this movie is that it plays on a lot of the sexual stereotypes and sore subjects that exist in our society while still being fun, entertaining and fairly lighthearted. A great comedy with a very sexy side to it.
Dying to Belong (1997)
I was very surprised and impressed by this movie.
This is a very good movie I just happened to see on a cable channel once. I found that I recognized so many faces from 80's television (Saved By The Bell, Roseanne, Blossom), yet the actors filled the character roles perfectly. I'm not sure if this is a correct portrayal of hazing on campuses or the power of sororities and fraternities, but it made for an enjoyable picture. I was very surprised to find that a made for cable movie was so great. I highly recommend it to anyone interested.
The Cold Equations (1996)
The endless debate over the sacrifice of one to save the many.
I thought this was a wonderful movie. Granted the effects are pretty bad and the cinematography was horrible, probably due to a very small budget. However, if you dig through all of that, you'll find a wonderful story line and amazing acting talent. Poppy Montgomery and Bill Campbell make the story come alive in this interesting tale of the human reaction to major life decisions when options run out(trapped in a spaceship). You just have to watch it to appreciate it. Onboard a mercy mission to a sick planet a pilot, played by Campbell, is forced to choose between a stowaway, Montgomery, and the medicine that will save the planet. I haven't read the book, but I will now to compare. But as far as the movie is concerned it rocked.
